your front master cylinder looks obviously like a rear brake MC: nice conversion indeed but is this piston the right size to cope with your disc brake caliper??

i would hope so, as it was made for this & similar conversions. Will not be able to test it until the front disc is back from the engineers.

The mudguard on the left is still in bare metal, the mudguard on the right has been coated in clear lacquer powder.

Completed the dry build this afternoon. Everything is now ready for the powder shop and should look more or less the way it does now.

so whats the plan now

[GLscoot]

Off to the powder shop to get the clear coat, all the wheel rims brilliant orange. Engine built Still not decided on painting the casings yet. Underside of the floor pan orange and from there I don't know, will consider pin striping. General plan is to paint the parts that shouldn't be painted. The idea to get it clear coat from the powder shop is so I can add paint if I need to, want to try and keep the bare metal look. The frame has a lot of welding done to it and it will look excellent with the clear powder.

Anyone have any ideas please feel free to put them forward. Sometimes fresh ideas help, I have been looking at this scooter for 5 months.

the colour of the pinstripe would have to be cock on as the look at present looks RAW which is great

Looking good. I'm not sure I'd add any colour to it. It looks really cool as is.
